As proposed by Daniel, I am going to help him to maintain the platform,
so add myself as co-maintainer.

For everyone else: For MStar/SigmaStar I have a ~350 commit backlog
that makes almost everything work on these machines.
It's impossible for me to finish up working out the hardware and clean
up and push patches without the whole process taking years.
Romain stepped up to help out and has been pulling out patches,
cleaning them up and pushing them. He deserves to be listed as a
maintainer.

Sounds good to me.

One process issue though: These emails were sent 'cc:soc@kernel.org', so
they end up in patchwork, but I'm guessing they were not actually meant
for us to apply from there. I'm happy to take merge these patches (or
a future version of the series) directly from patchwork if that's what you
both had in mind, but for clarity please either

a) drop soc@kernel.org from Cc for patches that are meant for review
and will be part of a pull request.

or

b) put soc@kernel.org in the 'to:' field after they have been reviewed
and you want them to get merged.

Or even better, add an explicit sentence below the '---' line asking
for the patches to be merged directly into the soc tree when this
is what you want.

FWIW, I'd suggest merging the MAINTAINERS file change as a
bugfix for 5.15, it's generally better to do these as early as possible
to make sure any patches reach all the right people.
